5 Over-the-Top Refrigerators to Spice Up Your Kitchen

When Dolce and Gabbana gave the beloved Smeg refrigerator an Italian heritage–themed makeover, we saw the everyday appliance in a whole new light (and absolutely had to feature the chic rendition in our September Style issue). A fridge isn’t just a place to chill the wine or store your bounty from the farmers’ market—it can be working art in your kitchen. With that in mind, we went looking for other refrigerators that could do double duty as vegetable crisper and decor, from ones dressed up in unexpected hues to a version that’s basically a giant high-tech tablet. Unpacking your groceries just became a much more pleasant (and stylish) experience.
